Psychologist-Supervised Counselling

What is the difference between a Psychotherapist and a Psychologist?

Psychotherapy has been a regulated profession in Ontario since 2007. Registered Psychotherapists are increasingly involved in the effective treatment of emotional/mental health issues.

​

Both a registered psychotherapist and registered psychologist can provide psychotherapy. Psychologists can diagnose and can provide guidance on diagnostic prognosis. Psychotherapists cannot render a mental health or psychological diagnosis.

There are also differences in the registration process for a Psychotherapist and a Psychologist.
